In the car, Stella’s silence was unsettling.
Miley cast a worried glance at her.
“What exactly happened? Who was that woman? Why did she suddenly confront you?”

“No,” Stella softly denied, her voice tinged with weariness.
“Miley, please, let’s not discuss it further. I don’t know how to explain.”
Miley scrutinized Stella’s behavior and actions carefully.
However, seeing Stella’s reluctance to confide in her, she decided not to push further.
She started the car in silence.

Shawna’s words had been a stark warning that her path at the company, with Matthew in it, would become even more challenging.
Walls have ears.
